You could soon be able to get Greggs delivered to your door with Uber Eats
The bakery chain is testing out a new service with Uber Eats, which is successful could be rolled out to over 35 cities in the UK
YOU'RE one step closer to getting tasty sausage rolls and steak bakes from Greggs delivered to your front door.
That's because the bakery chain is trailing a home delivery service with UberEats in Newcastle.
Greggs also runs its own delivery service in the toon, as well as in London and Manchester.
But this is aimed at office workers ordering bulk lunchtime delivery orders (and there's a minimum £20 order limit).
If the test with UberEats is a success if could roll it out to more places in the UK.
Although, it could take a little while for it to be available in your area as there are no immediate plans to do this.
UberEats currently operates in more than 100 cities around the world, including 35 in the UK.
In March, it said it would add another five by the end of the year.
The new partnership with UberEats, which launched yesterday, means fans of Greggs can order all their favourites, including breakfast, hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, salads, bakes and sausage rolls.
There's no minimum spend but delivery costs £2.50.
Customers pick the delivery location and select a participating Greggs store.

Earlier this month The Sun Online revealed that Greggs has put its prices up.
Customers have been moaning that the price of its famous sausage roll has gone up to 90p from 85p.
While the price of its breakfast deal appears to have gone up by 25p.
The high street bakery chain blamed the rise on an increase in ingredient costs.
It said that customers who want to order a "basic" breakfast meal deal (either sausage, bacon or egg but not a combination of any two) can still get it for £2.
Customers previously paid just two quid, regardless of their order.
